Extract

For two reasons I feel justified in sending this small paper to the volume of the British School Annual to be dedicated to my friend Professor A. J. B. Wace. From his earliest visits to Greece, from the days before the First World War when he and I travelled together in the Greek Islands, Professor Wace, together with his learning as an archaeologist, has always shown the most sympathetic interest in the later and contemporary life of the Greek people. This is one reason; the other is that I find here an opportunity to bring before a number of readers, most of whom have travelled in Greece, a mass of freshly published material bearing very closely on the character and ways of thought of the Greeks as they are now and, I believe, have been even from the days of classical antiquity.
